Outside the Box: Dutch Airline Honors Ronaldo in a Way His Homeland Didn't!
In a remarkable gesture that outpaced the Portuguese Football Federation, Dutch airline Transavia decided to immortalize legend Cristiano Ronaldo's international retirement in a playful and unexpected manner.
Just one day after "CR7" announced hanging up his international boots, the company moved to permanently block seat "7C" on all flights heading towards his birthplace, the city of Funchal. The airline published snapshots featuring the Portuguese captain's jersey aboard its fleet, bypassing strict international regulations that legally prevent national teams from retiring player numbers or seats. This symbolic initiative honors a 23-year career where the legendary star clinched continental glory for his country.
